16+ is what we say. Please bare in mind you are at a Comedy Club and yes there maybe swearing and content of an adult nature.

  • Do I have to wear a name badge?

No! This may seem a strange question for some of you, but this does happen at some sober events. We are totally different to maybe another sober event you have attended in the past?. We are fully grown adults and just simply a friendly Comedy Club with no booze! If you want to know someone’s name just ask them, spark up an old fashioned conversation!

  • What if I dont find all the Comedians funny?

Ha! Stand-Up Comedy is subjective, what you find funny others may not ! We always have 4 Professional acts on the bill to appeal to all tastes! Many of them have appeared on TV.

  • Do you host any other Alcohol-Free or Sober Shows in London?

    No! We pride ourselves on being the Original Professional Alcohol-Free Comedy Club in London & Liverpool. There are other Alcohol-Free / Sober shows now popping up in London & Beyond. Please be careful. We only use the best top comedians, guaranteeing you a great Alcohol-Free Stand-Up Comedy experience. Choose wisely.

    That should be all you need to know! Please do remember what the comedians say on stage is really done for pure fun & to provoke laughter . However, if you are of a very sensitive nature and are sometimes easily offended, an adult comedy event may not be for you! . Remember, Comedy is a personal choice & what you might find funny others may not and vice versa! That’s life baby !'
